Gould,

In reference to my black and white comment, no one is saying that all
conservatives are smart and all democrats are dumb.

Actually, if you check the archives of this newsgroup, you'll find that there
*are* those who are saying that, and more.

It is also important to
realize that a vast majority of conservatives do not listen to the talking
heads. It is also important to realize that many of the listeners to Rush
Limbaugh et all are liberals and moderates. The "talking heads" are in the
business of generating an audience and pushing hot buttons. It does not
matter if you agree or disagree as long as you listen.

The only people I know who like to parrot the talk radio folks are not
capable of thinking for themselves, and they are on both sides of the
political fence.

I have seen studies that show a substantially higher percent of college

educated people are conservative and a substantially higher percent of
those

who vote democratic have only completed high school or less.

That sure seems logical. The audience for Limbaugh, Savage, etc is made up
of
Phd's?

Must be primarily uneducated Democrats listening to those radio shows,
since,
as you observed, people capable of independent thought don't need to be
spoon-fed a philosophy.
